With cameo, you can insert your live camera feed directly on a PowerPoint slide. You can then apply the same effects to your camera feed as you can to a picture or other object, including formatting, transitions, and styles.
Cameo is available to Microsoft 365 subscribers in the desktop app for Windows or macOS.
